zroundup, a demo

I would like to introduce a small project that I am working on atm – started this on Sunday, took me almost 4 hours to get it to this stage. I’ve just managed to capture it properly via recordMyDesktop and mencoder, before I can upload this to YouTube.

Roundup, as you may already know is a Python issue tracking system. zroundup stands for zero configuration roundup – I’m aiming to make an issue tracking system that you can just download and run. Preferrably I would also like to be able to put this into a thumbdrive and then carry it around with me – a portable issue tracking system, on a stick!

I actually thought that this sort of thing would be perfect for freelancers / contractors who are usually on the move and have a huge list of issues / tasks on multiple projects that need to be managed.

Note: Probably you’ll have to see this in full screen, I haven’t figure out how to take a screenshot of only the region within my desktop, and keep in mind that this is still a work in progress – when it’s finished, the use case would likely be:

Download and install on a USB stick

You can run / stop the issue tracker from the USB stick

If you disconnect the USB stick the tracker will stop, but preserving all data

If you connect the USB stick on a windows machine, the tracker will run (automatically, if autoplay is enabled).
